You can purchase Fast Access Club Passes for the 2016 Tin Pan South Festival. You can also attend shows individually and pay at the door. To do so, get in the Cash Line at the desired venue. Fast Access Pass holders will take their places in the Fast Access Line at each venue on a first-come, first-served basis. With the exception of early shows at the Bluebird Cafe and both shows at 3rd and Lindsley, admission will begin 30 minutes prior to show time for each show. Admission will begin 1 hour prior to show time for each early show at the Bluebird Cafe and both shows at 3rd and Lindsley.  There are no “seat holds.”  “Holding a seat” for someone who has not yet been admitted to the venue does not guarantee their admission.  Fire code capacities are determined based on the number of heads admitted through the door, not seat availability.

Note: Please arrive early. Lineups are subject to change. Some venues may require reservations or a per-person food/beverage minimum. Reservations are strongly suggested for shows at the Bluebird Cafe.

Festival attendees without passes will take their places in the Cash Line at each venue. That line will be admitted into the venue as space permits after Fast Access Pass holders are admitted. Without a Fast Access Pass, festival admission is on a show-by-show, cash-at-the-door basis.
